...sides of the cone firmly to the glass bottom. Through a point a little to the side of the centre of the glass base, passes the cathode pole into the lamp, and at the end of this is fastened a platinum disc, at such an angle as to be parallel with the side of the lamp. At the top of the lamp and directly connected to the metallic side, is the anode pole, and at the top of the cone is a glass tube with a cock-stop, so that the air may be exhausted. This glass tube is also...
...better arrangement in Germany, but here photographs can not be taken as yet through a greater thickness than the wrist. At present our experiments are limited to the hand and to children perhaps. My work has been devoted chiefly to shortening the time of exposure necessary and to getting parallel rays.

They desire to become strong in a few days, and so they try to lift heavy iron bells and perform feats upon the parallel and horizontal bars.

The workings of the Yale University Club and of the Oxford and Cambridge Unions are described, the latter being a very successful parallel to the proposed club. The report concludes with a strong recommendation that steps be taken as soon as possible leading to the carrying out of the plans...
